I'll be taking it down to Fabspeed for their open house they are having on the 1st of october. May even come back with some kind of exhaust for it since I still feel its too quiet with the stock one. I'll have to see how completely bonkers the muffler bypass one sounds like, literally is just a pipe that removes the muffler completely and splits the exhaust between both sets of twin exhaust tips.

Its well less than 1/2 the price of the M Performance exhaust, but I do like that I'd have the ability to change the sound from more tame to wild at the push of a button, and the muffler bypass has no valves at all.

I did get my M Performance carbon rear diffuser installed today and damn is it sexy while completing my white with all chrome trim (except for the exhaust tips for now) replaced with glossy black trim like the side gills and front kidney grille surrounds, along with my now trio of carbon exterior bits, M Performance diffuser, spoiler, and mirror covers.







I'll still have to see if I can get it past 1,200 miles by then, but I just hit 643 tonight so I'm definitely trying to get it done soon. I'll be putting on a minimum of 206 miles getting to Fabspeed and back, so I'll definitely be at at least 850 miles by then without any other driving, but I plan on driving it as much as I can before then in hopes I can participate, but who knows if they will be able to do the service in time. Also after someone rubbed their tire on my front bumper and damaged my paint protection film, I got to bring it back in to Phil @ DetailersDomain to fix it, so that will be some more time that I won't be able to drive the car while hes doing that, but I absolutely need that fixed and its shown me just how important paint protection film is and I'm so glad I shelled out the extra money for it, or I'd be looking at a full bumper respray. The Prestige Clearguard Nano did its job and completely protected the paint while sacrificing itself instead.







At least this isn't costing me anything and din't actually damage the car, so its really just a minor inconvenience at this point to me.

Had moved it to the street while the landscapers were here to do the lawn, and when I came back out 2 hours later to move it back, it was like that. I'm guessing that some trailer being towed by some truck or a lifted Jeep with huge wide tires had to have the offending tire just because of the odd location it was hit in. SO SO SO lucky that I'd gone for that PPF. Not only does it clean much easier, its self healing, and its super hydrophobic so water just beads right off of it, and it has by far the least visible amount of "orange peel" and when the car is washed nicely, it's nearly impossible to see that its there comparing paint with a sealant on it vs the PPF. Now I'm thinking I may want even more of the car wrapped in it just so that if something like this happening on a door/rear fender, and rear bumper. I know it won't be cheap, but it will definitely be a bit less than bodywork/diminished value, and it will be a bargain compared to the job my next door neighbor is having done on his 2006 Heritage Edition Ford GT that he just took delivery of over at the detailer's shop. I even got to drive it around a little bit before parking it (before my neighbor even drove the thing) and oh my god is it the most amazing thing I've ever driven and the sound is just otherworldly.





He said that once its all done having the paint corrected and fully wrapped in Prestige Clearguard Nano, that I can have the honor of being th first one to give it a proper drive, e ven before he does.

Also you can see Phi's M2 in the background there so its not completely off topic lol. One thing for certain on this car is that you have almost ZERO rear visibility and I was nervous as hell backing it into there, but I did it perfectly. I was expecting the thing to feel like an absolutely terrifying monster of a car, but driving it around normally its comfortable, the steering is perfect, the clutch wasn't tricky at all, and oh my god the sound, its just something you need to hear for yourself in person to be able to fully appreciate it.

I really am so lucky to have the nicest and most generous man as a neighbor, I can't imagine may other people would let their 29 year old neighbor take out their brand new to them $400,000+ car, especially before they actually drive it themselves.
